I’m planning a trip to Santorini and I’m really looking forward to hitting the water. I’m particularly interested in renting a jet ski to explore the coastline, but I’ve never done it before in Greece, so I’d love some advice.

Can anyone recommend the best places in Santorini to rent a jet ski? I’m looking for a reputable rental spot with good-quality equipment and fair prices. Also, are there any specific areas around the island that are especially great to explore by jet ski, like hidden beaches or cool rock formations?

I’d also appreciate any tips on what to expect in terms of safety, required licenses, or permits for jet skiing in Santorini. Is it worth booking in advance, or is it easy to rent on the spot?
 
Exploring Santorini by jet ski sounds like an exhilarating adventure! For reputable rental spots, check out Perivolos Beach and Kamari Beach, as both offer reliable jet ski rental companies with good-quality equipment. Wavesports and Santorini Jet Ski are popular options with positive reviews. They usually have various packages, and prices are generally fair, though booking in advance can sometimes score you a better deal.

As for spots to explore, head towards the southern coastline for incredible views of the Red Beach, White Beach, and the dramatic cliffs near the Akrotiri lighthouse. The volcanic islets and hidden coves around the caldera are also fantastic, but be cautious as the waters can be choppy.
 

Staying in Oia or Fira in Santorini?

I’m planning a trip to Santorini for the summer of 2025 and need some advice on where to stay. I’ve heard a lot about Oia and Fira, but I can’t decide between the two. Oia looks absolutely stunning with those famous sunsets, but Fira seems to have more going on with shops, restaurants, and nightlife.

For those of you who have been, which would you recommend for a first-time visitor? Or is there another place on the island that’s even better to stay? I’m looking for a spot with great views, but also somewhere that isn’t too hard to get around from. I don’t mind a bit of hustle and bustle, but I’d also like some time to relax.

Any tips or personal experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Red Dress Photo in Santorini?

I'm planning a trip to Santorini soon and have always dreamed of capturing that iconic red dress photo against the stunning white and blue backdrop of the island. I’ve seen so many beautiful images online and would love to create something similar during my visit.

Could anyone provide some advice on the best way to go about this? I heard there was a business associated with this shot? Is that true? If so, how do I contact them?

Worst season ever’: How things got ugly on Greece’s ‘Instagram island’

Below is an extract from the article!(Not my opinion which I will write at the end of season)
"When evening comes, however, the crowds melt away, and some complain the island goes from Times Square to ghost town.
'The island is empty’
The truth is that the island is empty. Right now is like never before, it’s the worst season ever
The problem is that the social media are showing something completely different from what is the reality,” he says.
However, when the crowds are gone, “the hotels right now are more or less under 30% of a normal season,” he claims, and says that other businesses on the island are taking a similar hit".

Best time of year to visit Santorini?

I'm planning a trip to Santorini and I'm trying to figure out the best time of year to visit. I’ve heard that the island can get quite crowded during peak season, but I still want to enjoy good weather and be able to experience all the main attractions.

What months would you recommend for a balance of fewer crowds and pleasant weather?

I have heard that the summer months are packed with people and that it cuts into the enjoyment - for example, sunsets in Oia are filled with people and you can't enjoy them as well in peak season of July and August. Is September or October better?
